DESCRIPTION
off white pgs; tape on int. cvr, int. & cf
Bob Montana cvr/art; 1st app. Mrs. Andrews (Winter 1942)Despite an enormous print run, Archie Comics #1 has survived in astonishingly low numbers. Top-tier Archie collectors know this classic debut is considered one of the "black holes" of the collecting community, with an Archie #1 seldom seen again once it's brought into a collection.. Archie Comics #1 is likely the single most difficult major Golden Age key to obtain after Pep Comics #22 (that being where Archie made his first appearance). One of the most demanded and revered of comic book keys, this book never fails to elicit excitement when copies surface at auction.This book is a rare find in all grades and is becoming scarcer as copies disappear into collections never to be sold again. In spite of its 2.5 grade, this unrestored copy still has rich colors and a clean appearance that makes a nice showpiece in any Golden Age collection.
Overstreet Guide 2016 G+ (2.5) value = $13,125.
